===Map and theme Speculation===
  −
Operation SN was a campaign in which Japan attempted to establish airfields in the southern Solomon Islands, including a seaplane base on Tulagi and an airfield on neighboring Guadalcanal.
  −
 
  −
On August 7 the Allies launched [[:wikipedia:Guadalcanal Campaign|Operation Watchtower]] with the intention of capturing these airfields; the airfield on Guadalcanal quickly fell and was renamed ''Henderson Field''.
  −
 
  −
The IJA was lax in their response at first, believing this to be only a reconnaissance in force; however, Admiral Yamamoto thought otherwise. He sent naval forces to challenge the Americans' sea presence in the region, thus beginning a running siege that would last for five months, with the Americans owning the seas by day and the IJN ferrying in troops under the cover of darkness.
  −
 
  −
The event will likely emphasize fighting land installations and fending off air raids. The numerous nocturnal encounters in the Guadalcanal campaign suggest night battles will be prevalent.
  −
 
  −
===Mechanics Speculation===
  −
 
  −
The introduction of a new mechanic might be tied to planes as there have been several new articles that mentioned about adjusting the plane mechanics. And since this operation might have a lot to do with fighting installations. They may be tweaking the planes to be able to fight installations in a different way compared to before hand.
  −
 
  −
As of 8/9, this is believed to be plane leveling: as planes do more damage/shoot down enemies, they shall progressively get better. However, if planes take too many losses, they will be reduced in their effectiveness.
